It’s just a light layup. Honestly it’s a cool boat. Everything works as it should now looking to do a full restoration custom paint, interior, and do the 650 upgrade with built drive. If it doesn’t go fast enough I have a fresh 565 blower motor.

Cool boat. What year is it? I have a Velocity VR1, F 1 boat. Raced in 2005 as Solarized.

Yes the VR 1 is pretty much sit down. The bolsters do have drop down seats but standing and driving is awkward. Refurbished by factory. Our boats may have raced together.

Always wondered why you only saw the 292 with twins when the single engine f 1 boats did so well?

That’s a good question, I thinking because in pleasure form they are significantly heavier and they had the glass windshield Ect. Any pictures of your boat

Here is an link to the refurbishing by Velocity. It might give you some ideas. I didn't have it done. The factory brokered it about a year after it was finished. I did have Eddie Young rebuild the engine. I have owned it since 2013. Looks pretty much the same.

Good looking boat, There was a really nice VR one that I wanted to buy a couple months back but the stars didn’t align.
